by Traci Bratton
The UAB Cancer Center was selected as one of 30 cancer centers in the nation, and one of only five in the Southeast. The five-year grant, which awards $497,800 annually, allows the Cancer Center to be part of NCI's primary infrastructure to conduct state-of-the-art cancer treatment and advanced imaging clinical trials, especially large, definitive multi-institutional trials evaluating new cancer therapies and related clinical approaches for both adult and pediatric patients.
